Refimprove date February 2009 Polyhalogenated compounds PHCs are any compounds with multiple substitutions of halogens. They are of particular interest and importance because halogens generally are highly reactive and also bioaccumulate in humans, and comprise a superset of which has many toxic and carcinogenic industrial chemicals as members. Polybrominated diphenyl ethers PBDE s, Polychlorinated biphenyl PCB s, Polychlorinated dibenzodioxins dioxins PCDDs and Perfluorinated compounds PFC s are all polyhalogenated compounds. They are generally non miscible in organic solvents or water, but miscible in some hydrocarbons from which they often derive. Uses PHCs are used in a vast array of manufactured products, from wood treatments, to cookware coatings, to non stick, waterproof, and fire resistant coatings, cosmetics, medicine, electronic fluids, food containers and wrappings, in everything from furniture and furnishings, automobiles , airplanes , plastics , clothing and cloth, surgery, insulation, adhesives, paints, sealants, lubricating oils, polyurethane foams, cancer therapy and medical imaging. They are also heavily used in pest control . Safety PHCs include notoriously dangerous substances, including Agent Orange , DDT , and other pesticides . Many non pesticide PHCs have the same safety issues as pesticides. Types Polycholorinated, e.g. Polychlorinated biphenyl PCB s, polychlorinated dibenzodioxins dioxins PCDDs , hexachlorophene , dibenzofurans PCDFs , polychloro phenoxy phenol s PCPPs , polychlorinated diphenyl ethers PCDEs .
